How can you tell if yer chain is still ok or if you need a new one,

If a new one is required how many links should it have and is 525 the correct one to get, i think i will get one anyway cos i like dem gold uns...:devious

oh yeah its for a 2004 new shape...

many thanks in advance.....:thumbup
 
Oh yeah whats the best to get "o" ring or "x" ring, Thank you...:biggrin
 
I'm about to replace mine, lots of side movement and if it can be pulled away from the rear sprocket tis knacked.
108 links for 16/42
110 links for 16/44
Would also like to know if anyones got a good deal from somewhere :thumbup
 
You cant beat fleabay fellas... seen some nice x ring gold on there , gold sprockets nall :thumbup
 
Be careful with cheap chains fellas. These bikes put out alot of grunt. Go with DID or AFAM for piece of mind
 
Have any of you peeps heard of triple s "sss" chains, if so are they Good,Bad, or Ugly....:biggrin
 
Never heard of sss chains but those RK heavy duty 525 XW gold chains would be fine in the correct length
 
OK Fella's i have a 15t front sprocket and am going to fit a 42t rear i am also going to fit a new chain will a 106 link do the job and do you think a D.I.D X- ring will be ok...


thank you in advance for your comments...:thumbup


Thank you also for your patiance my mummy says i can be hard work...:biggrin
 
Yeah 106 is fine for 15/42 on later model bikes. Just make sure you correctly attach and secure the chain link. Give's me the **** jebes thinking about the chain coming apart :eek:
 
I bought a cheap Iris chain once, only lasted about 5,000 miles, I always buy the dearest ones, if fitting yourself make sure you peane the **** out of your split link, I always make sure you put one side against something that will not 'bounce' taking the power out of the strike when you are connecting it together.
Good luck deciphering the above, it makes little sense to me and I know what I was trying to say
